Hi guys, great video as always. I recently heard that all leather has a barrier between the leather and the surface. Is this true and if so is the conditioner reaching the leather? Thanks.
Guys - ‘conditioning’ auto leather seats and the plethora of ‘conditioning’ products on the market is one of the biggest misunderstood marketing gimmicks in the trade. Most modern automotive leather seats actually have a very think impregnated coating of plastic, which gives the leather durability and protection. When we apply these so called conditioners, in the vast number of cases (unless an old classic car), the conditioner is simply being applied atop of this plastic coating on the leather, and doesn’t penetrate the actual leather itself - hence why the seats feel greasy/oily for a long time after it’s applied. A leather couch is typically different and is usually raw natural leather. It irks me these companies spruk all these products on the market but are essentially doing little more than applying an oily film atop the plastic coating on the leather.
Haven't cleaned mine since ive had my truck(over 2 years) but guess what?? I have chemical guys leather cleaner and conditioner, plus the brush. I reckon i need to git my ass out there and get to cleaning😅
I have a stain on the light colour leather driver seat from pants brown leather belt ; I tried to use an all purpose cleaner from chemical guys but didn’t work, any advice or suggestions?
Can leather be clean to much. I have white interior model S. I clean mine every other week. Is there anything that can be damage on a weekly cleaning. I use the leather cleaner and conditioner you guys sell
I do that and add the ceramic cover for lerather the next day and it still shine.... do you know how to get it more like oem finish ? can I buff it? its look too shiny for me and I do a little layer
I got my first fully loaded vehicle with leather 10 months ago and I never cleaned the leather like what is shown in the video (I know...I'm a terrible person). In my defense, I've never in my life learned what I have learned in just a few short months thanks to @chemicalGuys and the great videos they put out. I got my Chem Guys leather care kit recently and I look forward to actually taking proper care of my vehicle. On a side note, I got the leather cleaner, conditioner, and serum. What order do I apply the conditioner and serum in? Also, how do I clean my horse hair brush when I'm done? I appreciate everything you guys do to teach us newbies!
Clean to remove all contaminants, conditions to add moisture to the leather, then serum to seal the moisture in. After using the horse hair brush you can just rinse the brush in water and you should be good to let air dry
OBSERVATION..luv this profuct, but i disagree w the foam. Never had an issue w the foam getting stuck in the holes but if you dont keep the foam up the chemical does not spread well. The foam enables the brush to glide on the leather but also cleans it. The only issue with the product in preforation is if u dont spread the conditioner on the microfibef like u did.
So, I figured this is probably the best place to talk to someone from the chemical guys company. Been trying for almost a month to get a return label that I was approved to get. 2 weeks later I noticed I never received the email for the return label so I call in and get told I will be getting a new one, never got it either. Waited another week and called again and got hung up on after being told I would get "another" email. That never came. I called again the next day and the person responsible for the call back ignored me after I answered and received no call back or email. I am no longer seeking a replacement or my money back, I just want people to know that I would trust a crackhead with my 3 year old before I trust this company again. Thank you

Loove these vids...how often should this process be done on my daily driven Tundra???
Hey! Clean and conditioner your leather goods as often as desired or as little as once every other month.

I want to know if it’s safe to use an extractor on a seat that has heated seats. I don’t want to damage the heating element

Leather seats are treated with a coating from the factory. They don't absorb anything.
Never heard of that. Please give us insight.
That coating wears off tho
ill take second comment lol good video

The correct pronunciation is “PERforations”. otherwise, thank you for the cool info!
Thanks so much for watching
